Hello all,
I’m hoping someone can help me sort this out. I’ve been through what documentation I can find, and I’ve trolled the fora, but not found anything that helps.
I’ve got an Arduino Pro (3.3v and 5v with the same problems) with a Bluemate silver attached (six pins to six pins straight through). I’m powering them through 9V on the external power input of the Arduino. I’m using a Macbook with up to date (Snow Leopard) Mac OS X.
When I power up the Arduino the green LED blinks for a couple of seconds and stops. Bluetooth powers up. I can mate to the Bluetooth module. The serial port for the RN42 shows up in /devs. I can enter command mode on the RN42 and adjust the settings through the command line. So far, so good.
However, I cannot communicate with the Arduino (either one). I launch Arduino, select the correct port and board. Then I try to upload “blink”. The "connect light on the bluetooth lights for several seconds and I get the "programmer not responding message, at the bottom of this post (which has been post by others many times before).
Some questions that I can’t seem to answer myself:
#1 are there some settings that I need to adjust on the bluetooth to get it to talk to the Arduino?
#2 is the Arduino start up (blinking green at an increasing rate, then stopping) indicating the bootloader starting successfully?
#3 I noticed in the error message “Overriding Baud Rate : 57600” I assume this means that Arduino is trying to upload at 57600 baud. Can this be changed? Does it matter?
#4 Anything I’m missing?
Thanks
Fred
